Generally it's a good way to look at it like this: Would it be OP if everyone had this spell/ability? Then yeah, it's bad.

A more usable job system! By this i mean having the items you produce actually be worth the time rather than a simple xp gain! As a master bowyer i can make bows, some woods provide certain properties to the bows however, as a master bowyer the properties are the same even if i had stayed an apprentice! Other than the xp gain being higher at master there is little reason to produce anything. The job is for flavour but it would be nice to have a little greater reward for taking the job to its highest level!

- More perma-death, less immortality. Essentially, a system for killing off ecl 30's. Maybe something like they get 2 deaths (an extra one to make up for a crash death or whatever) and then they are gone. Poof. Too many lingering ecl 30's is bad for the server as they tend to accumulate a disproportionate amount of clout and power which is a major cause of imbalance and then they never die... - Bring back the Underport. Removing it was a huge mistake. - Fix the broken portal nodes. L'Obsuls broken node was reported 6 months ago! - Revamp the merchants in L'Obsul. Too many merchants selling the same junk. I would probably spread the one's in the bazaar out to reduce the amount of lag they seem to generate. - Rain destruction down upon Kohlingen, because no one would really miss it...
- Seriously the epic weapons should just be moved to an epic shop. It takes too long to get anything good if half the drops are weapons.
- Epic Monk Gloves need to be improved due to the loss of up to 11 gear slots (bracer +2 weapons).
- Mindblanks should give +10 to Will Saves.
- Fear Duration needs to be far less- to just a few rounds maybe.

I thought this was funny. That place is too big anyways.
- Faction areas should be relatively small. That way players can actually see others there. In the case of faction areas- bigger is not better. Why does Tarkuul need to keep growing when nobody goes there anyways?
- Also, I think most would be against this, but to have a server with the mechanics that it has, the best thing to do would be to kill 90% of the gods off and just have about one faction for each alignment- one faction base for each faction (the TN faction would be something like Cordor, or a merchant city). Simplification is almost always better for longevity, but then it wouldn't really be Amia so, it's Amia or death.
I would wave my magic wand to bring back a bunch of the players I remember enjoying having around during my early moments on Amia. Whatever RL circumstances are keeping people away would poof into non-obstacles, enthusiasms would be renewed, resentments and bitterness evaporated, in a few cases bans would be reversed after amends were made and attitudes healed, and there would be joy and happiness and peace on earth and goodwill to all and skyrocketing player counts and enough awesome DMs to run a fun plot every hour of every day.

It's pretty neat, and i'd love to see the other levels. -Ban beards in Barak Runedar.
There's a lot more I could think of, but the points have already been brought up here.

I agree with this I think the ban-list should be looked over actually! It's been years and years in some cases. I think people deserve more chances.

Who would you consider as deserving a chance, over someone who would get the ban upheld regardless of time?
No specific names unless you wanna send em' in a PM but, just in general what guideline would you use.
I have to admit, I'd probably change the application of plots myself. Some larger overarching themes and lines of story are good, but the real bread and butter of a good story is smaller scale plots, and plots that aren't always about some threat to the world, but are still interesting in their own manner.
The attitudes of some I would REALLY love to change, but unfortunately I do not forsee that happening... I'd like to see a better faith in the use of PnP spells and belief they aren't 'Win Buttons' as some would have you believe.

I just believe that people can change. Examples being people that had arguments(with players or with DMs at the time),"abused" things in the game such as the shifter stuff. I won't pretend that I know full details and stuff... but I'd consider those things cases where old bans could be considered to be lifted.

There honestly isn't much I would change about Amia, except something I can't control. I'd like to change the population of Amia! The server is old; however, we should find a way to recruit more n00bs for the DMs to torture.
Replaced with members of the community who while not vetted, would be more apt to motion to revitalize and shake up the team since they are the start of true change
Anyone fitting the profile and that shows great maturity and willing to help are welcome to apply.
Reasoning: Let's be honest, when NwN was in it's hay-day player count for Amia was incredibly high, the frequency and size of the staff team and active players was massive. You also had a much large range of age groups playing the game, which further diversified the amount, kinds and attitudes of players and roleplay happening on the server. The DC reward system in my knowledge still hasn't changed much:-
Quote:
What are Dream Coins? Dream Coins (DCs) are DM-given rewards for excellent RP. They are not actually coins, but instead stored in a database. What can I do with Dream Coins? You can use DCs to pay for special features and services, such as custom items, visual changes and rebuilds. You can also use DCs for XP and Gold in game (at the rate of 271.82 XP per level and 500 GP per level). To do this, use your Dream Coind Wand on yourself.
How do I get Dream Coins? DMs award them for great RP they witness. DMs have slightly different standards, but staying IC at all times and faithfully role-playing a character in the Forgotten Realms setting is the ground from which excellence grows. If you feel you've done great but see no DCs, despair not: there is the inevitable luck factor involved, as DMs cannot be at all places at all times. Use your DC Tool or the DM channel to notify DMs of any great RP you witness, so that we know to have a look!
Who can use my Dream Coins? You may use your DCs yourself, or donate them to another player's request. A player must pay at least half of the DCs required for their request, however.
It is my opinion that this system no longer functions as it once did, reasons:-
Player count is lower; therefore opportunities for RP have become very difficult. Much of this is actually due to the module's size, in relation to the people available to play in any one timezone. For example there are on average 22 people online on A and 10 on B. (Made up but reasonably accurate numbers.) - Those 22 people on A are all representing different factions, have different haunts and different goals for their RP session; we can assume at least 5 need to level/get some gold/are in the mood for hitting stuff. So people actively seeking RP: 17. But four are druids of the Grovel; they go to the grove. Three are Cordor Ministers here for some government stuff; they go to city hall intend to remain there ruling the world for the session. -- So immediately, and entirely understandably, we have people wanting to play with their faction! Leaving 10 roaming people trying to find RP; let's be fair some they try Kohlingen, but are in the GMT timezone and there's nobody there as most of those guys are EST. Eventually people coalesce in Bendir or Cordor Tradehall. Roughly an even split. They RP to the best of their ability, and what-not... But there's only one DM online, and they've decided factions need some love. So, they go to the Grove where the druids are debating getting Malandria's dinosaur some armour made from the holy bark of Silvanus' sacred oak tree; Mr Acorns. They commune with the holy spirit and Mr Acorns is petitioned to respond! The DM helpfully spawns a tree-ent, possesses it and RP's the terrible divine power of Mr Acorns. . . Meanwhile in Cordor, RP is happening. Plots have been hatched and the ministers are concluding their RP. Two of them are adults, as the playerbase has advanced with age and need to run off and be parents/old people. The remaining player decides to type up their RP on the forum and logs out.
In Bendir Dale, people have talked about butts and killing orcs for a few hours. Deciding to kill orcs as a group because it makes sense to patrol around the town... They RP the entire time, and one player, playing 'Awesome Protagonist 1' has some meaningful emotional RP with 'Beautiful Emotionally Damaged Man 2' - A DC wand is deployed as both people decide the other person is 'a baller'.
However, that DM trying their best to be on in EU times and support NATURE, is still playing Mr Acorns. Guiding his druid people on a spirit quest as they enter the majestic realm of Faerie to seek the mystical 'Gardening Gloves of Chauntea' so they can safely remove the bark from Mr Acorns without damaging him. Alas, Mr Acorns is in the middle of being awesome and the DM can't leave to go fire DC's at our orc killing heroes. He does onto Skype into the 'Sexy DM Lounge' and asks if someone can go see to that DC thing. Alas, the DM's are also adults or have jobs or are asleep. In the meantime, the moment of emotional, deep character progression has passed... So, our noble Bendir heroes don't end up getting rewarded for what for them has been a landmark moment. Their characters are now 'buddies', and shall kill orcs again 'soon'.
Essentially what I'm getting at... is... it's rare to find DM's online anymore in the week. Just roaming and being DMy. I'm well aware people try, but we've all got older and frankly have 'shit' to do. Pre-Organising helps, but that can ruin the spontaneity. I'm not pointing blame here, this is pretty much... just the way it is.
So, what I propose changing is the way DC's are rewarded; like Dead has mentioned taking screenshotted forum stuff into account would be amazing. But, perhaps players can have the ability to bestow a DC once every 48 hours by using an option on the wand? I know some people will zap their friends. But, honestly I'd have loved to zap an elf a couple of days ago. I was just a bystander for some incredably Sun Elven 'stuff' being said, and there was this Moon Elf desperately attempting to disarm the situation. . . Regardless. No names mentioned. I just enjoyed watching it, and like seeing more elves about. DC's are such a large part of requests, or getting those last few levels so you can take part in 'Incredible Faction Event 1million.' -- I dunno. I just think empowering people to reward RP themselves would be great.

Please no.
Amia is not built for lvl 40. If the cap is to be increased to lvl 40, it would mean a complete set of new maps, mobs, items and areas for level 30-40. Not to mention that probably 90% of the community would request a rebuild the very second the cap is raised.

Not impossible, of course, only difficult. A lower level cap would allow more of this, with less immersion breaking as Demon Army # 666 threatens to invade the prime material again to provide a mechanical challenge to the throng of epic leveled people loitering outside a small hin village.

I'd be for a 16 cap, 20 through RP, any day of the week. The base game simply stops functioning well in the epics, and the aura of being on par with a god's stats is just not a good vibe.
This may sound counterintuitive, and may even a bit crass, but if I could change Amia, I'd change the mindset of the players and DM's and Developers. I'd make the emphasis on characters, stories and growth, and less on mechanical prowess, levelling, and exploits. I don't mean to sound whiny or bitchy, but, as much as I love Amia, and keep coming back after trying to leave or finding another server to play on, Amia is the ONLY server I've ever roleplayed on that REQUIRES you to be mechanically proficient and extremely knowledgeable to feel that you can "compete", which is a foreign concept on an RP server to begin with.
I think that RP and mechanics go hand in hand. You can't be call hero unless you can really be someone worthy of noticing. Unlike other RP servers I know, people dont frown here upon having forum section about building. And from what I saw so far, it does not really require THAT much to "compete" (though it is through that meeting with lvl of 18 to 22 lvls at Maximus with group of lvl 30 paladins was rather amusing).
Lvl 30 is nice - it is good for balance (and I feel that classes are mostly balanced here in PvE, I dont care that much about PvP) as well as gives characters the possibility of being epic in some specialized area. Lvl 40 gives characters too much stuff, so there is no need to specialize and therefore characters seem to very similar ("oh another cleric/bard/mage/shifter/rogue" instead of "healer/divine fighter/bladesinger/undead shifting/demon shifting).

I agree with this conceptually but the amount of work required is so mind boggling it gives me a headache just thinking of it.
PC's, items, areas, spells, classes, spawns, summons, loot tables, bosses. There isn't really anything that wouldn't be impacted.
My favorite idea presented is allowance for forum role play to be eligible, accepted, and rewarded with dream coins. I don't know about you all but when I write as my character I'm in character at least as much as when I'm in game. Role play is a value because it's entertaining for those observing it. I get as much entertainment value by reading some IC threads as I do by what's happening in the game. In fact sometimes the writing is better and more immersive because players have the time to thoughtfully consider what they are trying to communicate. It's also normally and thankfully absent the discussions of the weather and mundane gossip of who's banging who this week.

Yeah, I'd never expect the level cap to be changed - either higher or lower. The amount of work would be vast, and in the case of lowering the level cap, some form of server reset would likely be necessary. Or some grandiose, epic world shattering event that stripped PCs of their most potent abilities. Which wouldn't go over well either, I'd imagine.
Get some builders to focus on fleshing-out areas with more detail, placeables etc. As it stands Amia's playerbase is fantastic, but my god, the areas are the MOST boring I have EVER seen or had to run through. It seems like they were randomly generated, spawn points haphazardly thrown in (because me not being able to see a group of bears until I'm 2 feet from it and it drops from the sky makes total sense) and then a few years later, someone added like 1 bench and a candle and called it a day.

Very much this.
I can't write shit. It's how it is. But I really do enjoy some stories written by others, namely, for example, Rosary's "diary" by Elyon, or Iim'mur'ss story by Anatida. From my point of view, those two should be drowned in DCs for what they've created. Forgive me if I forgot to mention others, but especially those two I enjoy everytime and are first to come to my mind in case of forum RP rewards.

I have no problem with the reasons you mentioned, but I don't want to risk players just not bothering to log on because they can just RP on the forum instead. By this I mean that forum-RP such as "My character is in Cordor walking the streets" or the Winya life thread are examples where I don't want it to be eligible for dream coin rewards. Journals and the like should however because it is basically supplementary RP.
1. Make all mobs on the server give 5 times more XP and make quests give substantially more XP than hunting.
2. Add more rewarding quests in low levels to attracts newbies.
3. Make the playerlist of the server display the number of total players on both servers, to make Amia appear higher on nwn server list to try and evade the Matthew effect the server has been suffering from.
4. Add an "RP ball", like the party ball but for RP purposes.
5. Add areas like old south Cordor where people can find immediate conflict.
6. Remove the Time Stop nerf, make the Sands of Time cost 10,000,000 gp and add them to epic loot bin.
7. Remove the GS nerf and set it's duration to 3 rounds.
8. Set Dev crit to just double the damage on a failed saving throw.

Aka - no more skill dumping. I find it one of the biggest flaw in the system.

I struck out one as I find it belongs more to MMORPGs like WoW. As well as one thing I add to that of Glims Labyrinth, I think this should be placed in a neutral location at the very least. Yes, you can argue that West is passable by any species due to the law lay there, but the gate still mechanically functions the same, alternatively, fix the gate.

I can see how it seems WoWish, but with the amount of unused epic weapons (like everyone's favourite light flail!) it's an idea to throw out. I also agree with the Nexus having a more neutral route into it. Hell, to make sure people wouldn't just use it as a cheap pass into Cordor, i'd have a different wizard/token NPC and have him hand out a different form of trinket, maybe bound to where they are instead of the Watchtower.
I still think it's the best solution, no matter if WoWish or not.
Btw, Broldi, you've seemed like someone who supported this idea back then. What changed?
